As examples of aliphatic radicals represented by T,, R and R there may be mentioned alkyl, more especially lower alkyl groups, by which term is meant groups containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, for example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl and n-butyl, hydroxy lower alkyl, e.g. B-hydroxy-ethyl, lower alkoxy lower alkyl, e.g. B-methoxy-ethyl and B-ethoxyethyl, cyanomethyl, carbamoylmethyl, carbethoxymethyl and acetylmethyL- As examples of araliphatic radicals represented by T,, R and R there may be mentioned benzyl and B-phenylethyl.

As examples of homocyclic radicals represented by T,, R and R there may be mentioned cycloalkyl, e.g. cyclohexyl, aryl and substituted aryl radicals, more particularly those of the benzene series, e.g. phenyl, tolyl, chlorophenyl, carboxyphenyl, methoxyphenyl and sulphophenyl.

As examples of heterocyclic radicals represented by T,, R and R there may be mentioned in particular 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic rings whether alicyclic or aromatic in nature, e.g'. 2-pyridyl, Z-thiazolyl, l-piperidyl, l-morpholinyl, lpiperazinyl and l-pyrrolidinyl.

As examples of aliphatic radicals represented by Z, there may be mentioned radicals of the general formulae n 2n) 2 where n has a value of from 2 to 10, the symbol C I-1 representing a linear or branched hydrocarbon radical,

-(CH CH NH),,,CH CH NH where m has a value of l, 2 or 3,

(CH CH O),,Cl-l Cl-l,Nl-l (4) wherein p has a value of l or 2, and -CH CH NHR where R represents an alkyl or carbocyclic radical, for example 2- amino ethyl, 3-aminopropyl, 6-amino-n-hexyl, IO-amino-ndecyl, 2-aminopropyl, 2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethyl, 2- (ethylamino)ethyl, 2-methyl-amino)ethyl and 2-( phenylamino)ethyl.

Nl-l -Z a compound of the formula T,-COCH COO alkyl and a compound of the formula T,-CH,COO alkyl 7 wherein the symbols T T and Z have the meanings stated above.

The above process can be carried out by mixing together all three reactants using an excess of compound 5 whereby the new heterocyclic compounds are obtained directly in a single step. Alternatively, compounds 6 and 5 can first be reacted together to form a compound of the formula T CO'CH CONHZ (8) which is then reacted with compound 7 in the presence of a basic catalyst to form an a,B-substituted glutaconamide of formula:

which can be cyclised by heating with a basic substance, e.g. sodium ethoxide, a strongly basic amine or an inorganic base.

Alternatively compounds 5 and 7 can first be reacted together to form a compound of the formula T CH CONHZ [0) which is then reacted with compound (6) in the presence of a basic catalyst to form an a'B-substituted glutaconamide of formula:

which can be cyclised by heating with a basic substance.

As examples of compounds 5, 6 and 7, there may be mentioned the following (5) NH Z ethylene-diamine, 1,3-propylene diamine, l,2-propylene diamine, 1,6-hexamethylene diamine, 1,10-decamethylene diamine, diethylene triamine, triethylene tetramine, 2,2- diaminodiethyl ether, and N-ethyl, methyl and phenyl ethylene diamines.
